Summer Vacation - Day #28

Today was a scorcher folks! All day, Patrick kept asking me what the temperature was and was thrilled when I told him that we hit 100! He knew that it was a historical event and that it hadn't happened since 2002. He retains pretty much everything you tell him, including the comment I made about being able to fry an egg on the sidewalk when it is this hot...............
because about mid-afternoon, out came an egg, on the driveway. Of course it "cooked", over a period of time, and then turned to an orange, crusty stain on our newly re-topped driveway. All in the name of science, right??
Sheila and Ken invited us to Skaneateles Country Club to hang out by the water, swim, and have a picnic dinner. It was a great relief to sit in the breeze, float on a tube with a beer, and enjoy family. Both kids did a great job swimming. Elizabeth even did a distance swim with Ciochi and Sarah Jane.
She made it!
Patrick did his fair share of running off the dock and jumping in the water. It started out pretty timidly but by the time we were ready to go he was using the dock like a runway. Brian was teaching the kids how to skip rocks when they weren't swimming.
Liz getting ready to jump, giving Brian directions, no doubt, before jumping in.
It was a really fun night. We all had a blast and really appreciate the invitation.
